I can't believe no one has responded to this yet. If you'd posted it on Monday morning at, say, 9:00 a.m. eastern, I bet this would go 5 pages, at least. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It doesn't bother me, I guess. It's not my family or my body. I can't shake the feeling though that it's somehow not psychologically healthy to be so wrapped up in breast feeding; For the woman or her daughters. I realize it's a few minutes of video, but it sure seems like their whole life is about breast feeding. :shrug: Power to the boobies.

To each his own, but it made me and my husband cringe to watch the girl sprawled out on the couch breastfeeding. The girls have names for the boobies, draw pictures of the boobies, get mad when mom puts a bra on, she had to set limits for getting dressed in peace.That can't be normal.

The year before last, a newly qualified teacher at our school was very nervous about her first parents' evening. We talked through all the possible situations that might arise, and she went into her first appointment feeling reasonably confident. However, she was completely thrown by the mother who sat down and breastfed her four-year-old during the parents' evening interview, with the fifteen-year-old who was the subject of the parents' evening sitting there looking like he wanted the earth to swallow him up.

It disgusts me to see anyone breastfeeding older children. I do not even want to look at the video, the comments say enough. Breastfeeding has cultural aspects to it, with some cultures that do it much longer than others. I happen to come from one that typically ends doing it after 6 months.
